Ethicon VCP741D 1 COATED VICRYL PLUS VIOLET 8X18" CT-1 CR Box of 12

Ethicon VCP741D 1 Coated VICRYL Plus Violet Suture | CT-1 Control Release | Box of 12

The Ethicon VCP741D is a high-tensile Coated VICRYL® Plus (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered for robust soft tissue approximation and high-speed abdominal closures. This Size 1 violet braided suture is integrated with Irga care® MP (Triclosan) to create an active antibacterial zone of inhibition, effectively preventing the colonization of common surgical site infection (SSI) pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. A cornerstone of surgical efficiency, the VCP741D features Control Release™ (CR) technology in a multipack of 8 strands, allowing for rapid needle detachment and high-volume interrupted suturing.

The CT-1 (Circle Taper) needle is a 36mm, 1/2 circle taper point needle. Its precision-engineered tip is designed to push tissue fibers apart rather than cutting them, making it the industry standard for securing the peritoneum, fascia, and uterine wall.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Antibacterial Zone of Inhibition: The Triclosan coating prevents bacterial biofilm formation on the suture strand, providing a critical layer of protection in deep, high-risk wounds.

• Control Release™ (CR) Efficiency: The "pop-off" needle interface allows for rapid, tool-free needle detachment, significantly reducing operative time during fascia closure or complex internal repairs.

• High-Volume Multipack: With 8 strands per packet, this configuration streamlines the surgical field and reduces packaging waste during procedures requiring multiple interrupted sutures.

• Superior Tensile Strength: As a Size 1 suture, it provides maximum mechanical support for heavy tissue layers, retaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days.

• Predictable Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, leaving no permanent foreign body once the tissue has successfully regenerated.
